Donald Trump has pushed the case up to the nation’s highest court …
He has sued in court to block Congress and a the Manhattan DA’s office from getting taxes and financial information…

Just about every Federal Appeals Court involved in these cases have ruled against him…
But whatever you may think about politics and the nations highest court?

Note…
A ruling on this case could come as soon as right after arguments before the court, where court watchers would give a guess one the outcome, to June next next year….
